Week 5 Q & A

Q.1 you advised getting release in your golf swing? You have to turn it loose and let go?

A. Explain in your own words your understanding of this.

Do you know what this means to get a release in your golf swing? If you let it go, it will fall out of your hands. The only way to get release in your golf swing is to get the club square to your lap when you swing the club past the ball; this is where the club bottom out. It’s the lowest point in your golf swing because all the clubs are different in length. You can check where your clubs bottom out. When you know this, your game will become very consistent with your golf swing.

Q. 2 Are you advised to take video lessons to fix your golf swing?

A. Explain in your own words how you think it would you?

Videos lessons will only confuse you. Thinking about your swing, you need to understand what makes the ball curve and spin different ways so you are working the ball and controlling your golf shots, not looking at something you will never know anything about, only bringing more confusion to your mind and your golf swing.

Q. 3 Are you advised you will get worse before you get better after your take a golf lessons?

A. Explain your understanding of this?

How can you be prepared to pay someone who will make you worse than you are in golf after a lession.

Your golf will improve instantly if you learn to spin and curve the ball. Get a step ladder and some ping pong balls, and start using the steps on the ladder to practice different hight and ball positions in your stance. Hit your shots to go between the stages; begin practising going around the ladder with a left spin to fade the ball and a right spin to draw the ball, then hit flop shots to go over the ladder. You can do all this practising from home.

Q. 4 Are you advised to hit the ball straight, and your golf swing will become more consistent?

A. Explain in your own words your understanding of this?

There are 360 degrees in a circle, so if you think for a second if you come into the ball one or two degrees either side of the centre, the ball is going to curve in that direction, so it is nearly impossible to hit the ball straight when you learn to curve the ball the direction you want the ball two go there you will hit your target most of the time, so stop trying to hit the ball straight for God sake.

Q.5 Are you advised to try and get under the ball to get maximum distance from your shots?

A. Explain your understanding of this in your own words?

How can you get under the ball if the ball is on the ground? This causes you to hit fat shots and does not make sense. You need to learn to put a backspin on the ball so it lifts in the air for the height and distance you need; remember to skip the club off the ground before it hits the ball. An excellent exercise for this is to put tees on the ground in different positions in your stance to get the feeling of skipping the club off the ground while hitting the tees, then put a golf ball down, open the club face getting it to bounce off the ground to get the feeling in your hands.

The number one secret in golf is that you have to skip the club off the ground excitly at the back of the ball for every shot you play in golf.

Task 5 The easiest way to lower your handicap is to play the golf course with no pars, so par 3, par 4, and par 5. are all the same. You are going out to play the course with no handicap or pars. Play the 18 holes count up all your shots, and bring the card back with the number of shots you have taken for our next call so you can talk me through each hole and the number of shots you played.
